Copy-pasted from TMMN:

"Admittedly, despite the two universes being fairly disparate, I always saw Magical Doropie as a distant part of the Megaman (game) continuity.

I would say "Here's the Bad Box Art versions of Megaman and Doropie/Francesca", but the art for The Krion Conquest (the game's US name) isn't that bad at all. Francesca's hat is rather goofy, though."

Quick doodle of the new guy from "Rockman Xover". I want to be excited for this game, but I...just...can't. New Guy's design isn't that bad, though.

(Note: Xover is a "social RPG" for iOS systems that looks exactly like X1-iOS, which was near-total garbage)

All current evidence points towards New Guy (no official name as of this writing), a joint effort between Drs. Light and Cossack, having no personality of his own; since there's multiple copies of him everywhere, he barely counts as a true character (at least by MM standards). Therefore, I shall not hesitate to give him a personality (copy-pasted from TMMN):

"He seems very show-offy and flamboyant, and to an extent he is, but there's more to him than that and he wishes that he could prove it to others. He hasn't yet learned not to throttle those that disagree with him on certain matters, though."

As for his name, I shall refer to him as "Luka" (a Russian male name) until (or after?) an official one is given.

edit: Hey, new page.

I guess this is supposed to be Rockman Online lite...? Since Rockman Online will most likely never happen?

Looks like it.

(I noticed that, while Trigger is present, his art is the smallest of all the Megamen's. Rather depressing) This had better be a huge step up from X1-iOS, controls-wise at least, and this had CERTAINLY better not be Capcom's only game-related anniversary effort.

edit: oh, and Dr. Cossack finally reappeared, though it's too early to tell whether or not it'll matter.

It's not truly over 'til Capcom goes under.

Now...I want to be excited, since it's a new game, but it's an iOS game (I don't have anything iOS, for I am outdated), the new guy doesn't seem to be a true character in his own right (multiple copies of him all over the place), and the graphics are reminiscent of MMX1-iOS.

TMMN interview with Mr. Flynn.

Of note is that the Sonic cast will consist mostly/entirely of game characters, Sonic Universe #50 will be a standalone story (standalone in relation to WWC?), and that it'll apparently be semi-canon to Archie-MM and StH (Mr. Flynn wanted it to be non-canon, Mr. Kaminski wanted it to be canon, and the former said they've reached a "happy medium").

Admittedly, I don't remember how much attention I was paying to MM6's intro (via Anniversary Collection)...

#37. Fnargle.


* Hey, it's Miku n' Rock again.

* There was this game I sorta played years and years ago, called "Victor Vector and Yondo the Dog in The Cyberplasm Formula" (I think the proper title is even longer); there's a Let's Play of it on YouTube (funtastic fact: Victor is voiced by Ian James Corlett). There doesn't appear to be any fanart of that series of games on dA...or anywhere, for that matter.

* Splashy, Tempo doesn't like it when people use her head as a table.

* I may have fudged some of Christina Bumblefly's details. And seriously, I don't know if the lady next to her was meant to be Liz or not (and I may have fudged some of her details, as well).

* Those two Crosses are the first time I've had Megaman get a Cross from fan-RMs, IIRC. Zaia Cross was based on some older designs of Zaia; can't really say the same for Seraph Cross. (Would Megaman even be able to acquire the first one, what with Zaia being a clone of him?)

* Proto does not yet know that Pinkamena is very violent (to say the least).

* RS-Rock doesn't squee often, but when he does...

* I have never seen an RS-Bass/Rock pairing that I didn't draw myself.

* Long time no see, Vaira.

* Maybe RS-Proto wears bulky jackets and sweaters and the like to cover up the fact that (in my fanon, at least) he's a twig.

* Zero Cross got redesigned/simplified, whereas the others (save for Gelato, as it's new) mostly didn't.

* On the subject of alternate Sailor Moon pairings, I believe that one of the first directors for the anime wasn't too fond of Mamoru and kept dropping hints of Usagi/Rei.

* That Punk Drunkers MM hoodie (and its variant) look fine, but those shirts...I dunno; I hear that they look fine to the Japanese skating culture, or something.

* I foolishly did not save all that really old "Rockman Neo" art of *AndrewDickman's...anyone wanna help?

* Jazz's armour did include a helmet; it's just not pictured here.

* Rockswoman's hair may not be drawn correctly; the only pic of her I could find had her falling in mid-air.

Dunno about X, but MMs 9 and 10 use a different palette from the NES games for Megaman. (Protoman and Roll get palette changes earlier than that, I think)

Thanks.

And it's possible; don't think I've seen Burner Cross Ranay yet.

(Photoshop 3.4, with editing in Elements 7)

Consider, for a moment, all of the interesting ramifications MM6 would've had on the games before and after it if Mr. X hadn't turned out to be Wily in disguise.

Or a charge shot; either way, Proto's target better hustle.

(King Weasel Productions aka ~MSipher's site is no more, which is a shame since the section on MM toys listed the exact name of RS-Proto's weapon--or maybe the weapon name was fanon? Either way, I think it was something like "Proto Striker".

Also, mostly-Photoshop 3.4)

Scanned from the 4/94 issue of Advance Comics (which is/was similar to Previews).

Apparently the three-issue miniseries is available for the iPad; since I don't have an iPad, I'll have to hope The Deep might have it somewhere in their long boxes. (I did have the Cyberplasm game when I was a little kid; never could make it across the street, because IIRC I never realized that, upon death, you have to manually reload the game)

Crap, think I drew this before.

It was supposed to be an emulation of Jason Jenson's colouring (I don't think he works for Archie anymore, or at least doesn't work on books that I've read), but I just ended up mostly doing my own thing.


Humiliating fact: the last time I drew casual-Tempo digitally, I'd swapped her shirt and bow colours and didn't notice until I was extracting colours from that pic for this one. My original guess on Tempo's colour scheme had a yellow bow, which I suppose explains it.

With that corrected, I've just noticed another issue: Rock's turtleneck is missing the stripes. D'oh.

What's Roxy doing hanging around Troll-Roll, other than to try and share her drinks? Who knows; poor Roll probably has a low alcohol tolerance.

(Incidentally, I think this is the first time I've drawn Roxy)

This looked fine when I first drew it, but now I'll bet I got the light source all wrong.

Would've been another collab between myself and ~Carol-das-estrelas (what can I say; form/Cross comparison is interesting), but she declined; I was given permission to post the finished pic, though.

Megaman's version of the Shadow Cross was redesigned; Ranay's is mostly-unchanged from what I believe was the second design (the scarf is from the first, or at least the one that looked older).


(I think it's worth noting that Ranay's personality is more blatantly influenced by whichever Cross she's using than Megaman's)

Group hug?

Sometimes these pages only require one scan; sometimes they keep coming out all lopsided.


* I don't think Clockwoman, if she makes it into Roll Boss Rush, will keep that cape.

* Horrorman is fairy sarcastic, in contrast to his strong resemblance to a Predator. (At least, I think he will. Dunno if Megaman Triple Threat will have pre-fight dialogue)

* Thinking about it, it doesn't seem likely that RS-Rock, Roll, Proto, and Dr. Light would have such varying hair colours (at least, if we don't assume that RS-Proto is a redhead). Not that Roll dyeing hers would keep the neighbors off Dr. Light's back.

* Speaking of hair dye, was Magnetman's hair always like that?

* Not sure how Classic Farfalla feels about Gutsman.

* Aida always had a similar helmet shape to Splashwoman's, IIRC.

* Centaurwoman (aka Ikehara-Centaur"man") stands out to me not just because she's one of the first female RMs in the entire MM series (if not THE first), but because of the mild(?) controversy surrounding her back in the day. See, the concept of Centaurman pulling a Samus is exclusive to the Ikehara continuity, but the MM community used to think that the mangas (pick an author) shared continuity with the games--or worse, overwrote the games--and thus there was some debate over whether or not game-Centaur was female, too. I believe this led to a rumour/misconception that Ariga-Centaurman was female as well.

* Technically, Pipi is RS-Beat. S/he only appeared in Ice Age, IIRC.

* I see what Archie did there.

* No official art of Nightracer exists (at least, not to my knowledge), and her toy is a redeco'd Go-Bots Bumblebee, so improvisation was in order. Nightracer has the dubious honour of being half-official--the toy is official (was an exclusive at the 1995 BotCon convention), the character (created by Raksha) isn't.

* Was Chromia ever officially a Decepticon at any point in the TF franchise, or was it just for that TF doujin? Either way, I gave her some chest armour, because completely-human boobs on Tranformers make my brain tie itself into knots (shaddap, Decepticon Thunderblast).

* I think CN!Proto looks a bit too much like game-Proto...

* Quake Cross wasn't too difficult to design, despite Quakewoman lacking any known alternate designs with which to use elements of. I re-used that long solar panel I put on Quakewoman's helmet back when all I had of #15 was a fairly tiny .JPEG of the cover.

* Derpy didn't lose an eye; she just wears that eye patch when she's flying.

* Despite the face Proto is making, I think he wouldn't mind Vinyl Scratch.

* RS-Farfalla has a data belt (not pictured), which I guess means she's an info courier of some sort? (Kinda like Johnny Mnemonic, except she's not at risk of a head explosion if she goes over-capacity.)

Wait, where'd Rush go?

Finally done with this page; the events of it gave me some trouble.

Posted on: August 06, 2012, 10:14:48 PM

Dream-based; these five Links (or maybe just four?) briefly appeared in it as part of someone else's art.

'tis a crossover of OoT and Four Sword(s?), with all of the Links having slightly different features ("slightly" being the key word), and with two of them gender-bent. Blue Link's the one whose appearance I remember the most; she was shorter than the other Links, had black lipstick, dark brown hair, and a few more piercings (her stark-white face wasn't carried over to here, though).

Whether or not Yellow Link was originally present, he was added for balance purposes.

Who knows?

Long story short, Liz and I were talking about RP-related things, and we eventually came to the subject of Proto's reception of other people's emotions (or something along those lines).

In those six years he spent at Skull Castle, Proto avoided the other RMs whenever possible; now that he's at home, though, he has to interact with people on a daily basis. He's very careful not to offend anyone, since he thinks the slightest slip-up would get him thrown back out (or if not, he'd still be alone), and tends to panic if he thinks he dun messed up, which sometimes results in him shutting himself in his room for a while.

And as glad as Proto is to be around Rock, the latter's very outwardly emotional, and Proto isn't used to dealing with that, possibly leading to some misunderstandings that would've been taken care of much sooner (namely, Rock wouldn't hate Proto for a one-off cynical remark) if Proto wasn't afraid of making things worse (i.e. if he'd come out of his room).

This could be chalked up to Skull Castle-induced emotional damage, if Dr. Light hadn't remembered that before his abduction, Proto wasn't very talkative and tended to avoid interacting with the doctors as much as possible.

Proto doesn't take the possibility of his emotional issues being at least partially physical very well.


('course, all this pertains only to our RP; regular fanon Proto still has issues, but isn't quite as twitchy.)

So I just finished #16.

(click to show/hide)

Surprise! Both the cover and solicitation were a mass of lies! Megaman and Quakewoman do put themselves at incredible risk in taking care of that last bomb, but neither are badly damaged by the explosion.

Dr. Lalinde promises to restore Quakewoman's emotions once everything's been sorted out, realizing how selfish she was for removing them in the first place. Still dunno how Quakewoman will feel about being temporarily dead inside.

Also, Elecman was the one who removed Xander of one of his eyes. And when Xander was living on a farm, the dog got caught in the threshing machHOLY [tornado fang]


edit: oh, and Breakman's Archie design is influenced by Ariga-Breakman.

Instead of Tails & Roll, we'll probably have Tails X Roll 

I wouldn't mind that pairing if it came up, but after Sonic/Elise, I dunno if we'll ever see another inter-species romance of that sort. (Well, Roll's a robot, and she and Tails are both sentient...Hm.)

Ok, do you want me to use them as is, or are you ok with me putting in my 2 cents with slight patch work.

Patch work is fine.

I was considering adding shading (at least on one portrait, to see how it'd look); probably would be best to wait 'til you're done.

Thanks.


So I'm done with the "official" bosses and Roll (at least, the flats are laid down); added portraits for pending RMs (just in case they ever become un-pending) and Rock (mostly to show how he'd look with his hood up). Admittedly, a lot of these probably don't fit the size requirements...

Honestly, I think a lot of Roll's non-VS. art looks fine as-is (well, maybe requiring some downsizing/removal of cleavage), especially her smaller mugshots.

Not really. ^^; I fumbled with the interface quite a bit...

As for redraws, I've started work on that (by which I mean only Gutswoman is sketched). Not yet sure how I'll shade everyone (cel or not).


EDIT: For now I must go to sleep, but here's what I've got so far (attached the file to this post because Photobucket squashed it down).

I like your design, but isn't the knife a bit much?

Maybe; I think the idea was either 1) he tries to conserve energy for major fights, or 2) he lacks internal weapons.

If I'm gonna start redrawing, I think I'll start with the RMs' VS. art; I don't think I'm that good an animator. ^^; (If I can produce something and you wanna make any edits for consistency or whatnot, that's fine)

Grafx2 is very powerful, from what I've heard; I'm not primarily a pixel artist, so I can't make anything like this.

Your mod looks fine, but if you would not mind doing a total re-draw, that'd probably be even more cool.

Re-draw...hm. :/ I think the style shift'd be rather noticeable...

As for art/large boobs: I think that as long as most of the RMs are kept to at least a B cup, it won't resemble hentai. Speaking of downsizing:



Some blue-lines/notes I drew in-between my last post and this one. (I do mean it when I say I can't draw arses...) In retrospect, Slashwoman and Icewoman might be okay as-is.


Also--does Sniper J have an existing design? I took a shot at drawing him here (towards the bottom; also has some pending RMs), but...something tells me he already does.

Alright; I'm not used to editing this kind of VG art, so I may end up with more suggested-redraws than actual edits, but I'll see what I can do.

(Note to RPMers not named isufje: I've been asked to redo the in-game art, or at least some of it.

Also, proposed alternate outfit. I've been drawing a few RMs, too, but I'll hold off on formally submitting them for now)


EDIT: Here's my first attempt:



Methinks SAI is not the best program for the job. (Does the art get automatically pixelated or something?)

Fan Creations / Re: The Gonzo has art.

« on: July 29, 2012, 09:26:08 PM »

I'm sure there's another usable sketchbook around here somewhere...

Not official yet; just a concept. Isufje mentioned wanting to add a JP Roll outfit to the game, and I soon thought of this; based on her MM attire, though hopefully not a carbon copy of it.

Coloured by ~Carol-das-estrelas; she suggested that I post it in my gallery, since I was the one who thought of what to draw.

The horse anatomy was troublesome, but not as much as I thought it'd be; it was actually Ranay's bow that I got stuck on. At first I couldn't make it symmetrical, so I copied the left side and promptly ran into another snag: rotating the layer it was on via the Layers option (IIRC) wouldn't put it in the right angle. Turns out I needed Transform for that (which pixelated the layer, requiring some touching-up).

Originally, Centaur Cross Ranay was bipedal; I suggested giving her the lower body of a horse, to parallel Rock's version of the Cross. Translating her regular boots to horse legs was a bit difficult. (She's pulling that arrow out of the aether, by the way; presumably, she gets the Centaur Arrow whilst Rock warps time)

I think carol-das-estrelas did a decent job on the colouring.  As for my lineart...I really hope that horse anatomy is passable.

edit:

I don't remember if Rock commented on Roll's preference in music in "Cold Steel", but something tells me he prefers less thrashy stuff.


(Those are vuvuzelas Rock's equating Roll's music to, BTW)

'cuz if EVERY Maverick turned out to be viral...that'd be depressing as hell, writing-wise. (Stupid question might be stupid, I know...)
